Damn you and your professional sounding job titles.
I was a part time Subway Sandwich Artist (shutup) and a part time Rent-A-Cop (shutup) for the better part of a year, and afterwards did a brief stint at Teletech Holdings (technical support for Sprint/Nextel subscribers). I worked full time and had a full course load, it sucked.
Being a security guard was fun. Basically, see-how-much-you-can-get-away -with-without-getting-caught. I worked the backshift in a large corporate office lobby with little to no staff and a co-worker. We both hung out with a mainframe / computer systems maintenance guy with nothing to do (Linux).
We ordered pizzas, watched movies on LCDs we nabbed from private offices (we returned them naturally), took a chinchilla and a rabbit from the basement nursery and raced them (well we tried), spun around in our chairs until we almost passed out, played games with megaphones... One time we got drunk and tried to see how much of the canned CO2 stuff we could spray on ourselves before we got frostbite.
Fun times. |

I lasted half a shift at that. It's a dirty that doesn't wash off. Were you selling Kirbys as well?
I went on to become a business banker at a major bank's corporate headquarters immediately prior to teaching in Korea. Business banking kind of leaves one feeling dirty too. Pays well, though. |

I managed restaurants for a corporation for 10 years. That is a job that I no longer miss. |

I worked for a company that manufactured and retailed urological equipment. If people needed something to p1ss into or out of, I was their first point of contact.
Even though I'm not medically trained, customers were usually more than happy to give me the full details of their misfiring bladders! |
Whatever the hell the competition here is , YOU WIN!! |
